St George's Catholic School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 166 families put St George's Catholic School as their first choice and 617 named it as one of their preferences, for 175 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 177 first choices in 2021, against 166 in 2026.
63% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Westminster, 66% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 93% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Westminster lodged 66 appeals against secondary school offers; 58 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
